Next, the present application introduces the scheme from the perspective of the client. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart of an audio and video quality monitoring method disclosed from the perspective of a client in the embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 4, the method includes:
step S100, obtaining call data sent by a source client, wherein the source client is a client in the same session group with the client;
specifically, the client and the source client are in the same session group, and the client may obtain the call data sent by the source client.
Based on the above introduced audio/video call system architecture, the call data acquired by the client may be the call data transmitted by the source client forwarded by the audio/video engine.
Step S110, processing the call data sent by the source client to determine call quality data;
specifically, after the client acquires the call data, the client may process the call data according to a preset processing policy, and determine the call quality data of the client based on the call data. The call quality data indicates the quality of the call that the user of the client is able to experience. The call quality data can be represented by parameters such as packet loss rate.
Step S120, the call quality data and the first identifier are sent to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server can monitor the call quality of the client or the conversation group according to the call quality data and the first identifier, and the first identifier corresponds to the client or the conversation group.
Specifically, the first identifier may correspond to the client, or may correspond to the session group. If the first identifier corresponds to the client, the first identifier may be an identifier of the client; if the first identifier corresponds to the session group, the first identifier may be an identifier of the session group.
The client sends the call quality data and the first identifier to the monitoring server, so that the monitoring server monitors the call quality of the client or the session group by using the call quality data.
In specific implementation, the client may send the call quality data and the first identifier to the audio/video engine, and the audio/video engine forwards the call quality data and the first identifier to the monitoring server.

As shown in fig. 5, the method includes:
step S200, sending an audio and video session request to an audio and video engine to request to join the session group;
specifically, based on the architecture of the audio/video call system introduced in the foregoing embodiment, the client may send an audio/video session request to the audio/video engine to request to join a session group.
It can be understood that if the session group requested to join has not been created, the audiovisual engine first creates the session group and then joins the client to the created session group. Further, if the session group requested to be joined already exists, the audio/video engine may directly join the client to the corresponding session group.
The process of how the client determines the target audio/video engine sending the audio/video session request may specifically be:
1. the client sends an audio and video request to the central server;
2. the client receives the identification of the audio and video engine and the identification of the conversation group returned by the central server;
3. the client accesses the audio and video engine based on the identification of the audio and video engine;
4. and the client joins the conversation group based on the identification of the conversation group to carry out audio and video conversation.

specifically, the client and the source client are in the same session group, and the client may obtain the call data sent by the source client.
Step S220, processing the call data sent by the source client to determine call quality data;
specifically, after the client acquires the call data, the client may process the call data according to a preset processing policy, and determine the call quality data of the client based on the call data. The call quality data indicates the quality of the call that the user of the client is able to experience. The call quality data can be represented by parameters such as packet loss rate.
Step S230, sending the call quality data and the first identifier to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server monitors the call quality of the client or the session group according to the call quality data and the first identifier, where the first identifier corresponds to the client or the session group.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart of another audio and video quality monitoring method disclosed from the perspective of the client in the embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 6, the method includes:
step S300, sending an audio and video session request to an audio and video engine to request to join the session group;
specifically, based on the architecture of the audio/video call system introduced in the foregoing embodiment, the client may send an audio/video session request to the audio/video engine to request to join a session group.
Step S310, after the conversation group is determined to be added, obtaining conversation data transmitted by a source client and forwarded by the audio and video engine;
specifically, the client and the source client are in the same session group, and the client may obtain the call data sent by the source client.
Step S320, acquiring a processing capacity parameter of the client;
specifically, the processing capability parameter of the client may include a codec capability parameter of the client, a processor CPU performance parameter of the client, and the like.
Step S330, determining downlink call quality data of the client according to the processing capacity parameter and the call data sent by the source client;
specifically, the call quality data may be divided into downlink call quality data and up-down call quality data according to the data flow direction. In this step, the downlink call quality data of the client can be determined according to the processing capability parameter of the client and the call data sent by the source client.
The downlink call quality data may indicate the quality of the call data received by the client, for example, the downlink call quality data may include: downlink packet loss rate, audio and video code rate, frame rate and the like.
Step S340, sending the downlink call quality data and the first identifier to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server monitors the call quality of the client or the session group according to the downlink call quality data and the first identifier, where the first identifier corresponds to the client or the session group.
In this embodiment, a specific implementation manner for determining downlink call quality data by a client is introduced, and further, the client may also determine uplink call quality data, referring to the following embodiments.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a flowchart of another audio and video quality monitoring method disclosed from the perspective of a client in the embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 7, the method includes:
step S400, sending an audio and video session request to an audio and video engine to request to join the session group;
specifically, based on the architecture of the audio/video call system introduced in the foregoing embodiment, the client may send an audio/video session request to the audio/video engine to request to join a session group.
Step S410, after the conversation group is determined to be added, obtaining conversation data transmitted by a source client and forwarded by the audio and video engine;
specifically, the client and the source client are in the same session group, and the client may obtain the call data sent by the source client.
Step S420, acquiring a processing capacity parameter of the client;
specifically, the processing capability parameter of the client may include a codec capability parameter of the client, a processor CPU performance parameter of the client, and the like.
Step S430, determining downlink call quality data of the client according to the processing capacity parameter and the call data sent by the source client;
specifically, the call quality data may be divided into downlink call quality data and up-down call quality data according to the data flow direction. In this step, the downlink call quality data of the client can be determined according to the processing capability parameter of the client and the call data sent by the source client.
The downlink call quality data may indicate the quality of the call data received by the client, for example, the downlink call quality data may include: downlink packet loss rate, audio and video code rate, frame rate and the like.
Step S440, receiving uplink quality parameters returned by the audio and video engine in response to the call data uploaded by the client;
specifically, the uplink quality parameter is used to indicate a transmission difference between the transmission of the call data from the client to the reception of the audio/video engine.
It can be understood that, for the call data sent by the client to the audio/video engine, because the phenomena of packet loss, time delay and the like occur in the transmission process, the uplink quality parameter of the call data uploaded by the client needs to be determined after the audio/video engine receives the call data, and then the uplink quality parameter is returned to the client.
The uplink quality parameters may include an uplink packet loss rate, a time for receiving call data, and the like.
Step S450, determining uplink call quality data of the client according to the uplink quality parameters;
specifically, the uplink packet loss rate can be directly obtained from the uplink quality parameter, and the uplink call quality data such as the time delay needs to be calculated by the client according to the time for receiving the call data returned by the audio/video engine and the time for sending the call data by the client. Other upstream call quality data are similar.
Step S460, sending the call quality data and the first identifier to a monitoring server, so that the monitoring server monitors the call quality of the client or the session group according to the call quality data and the first identifier, where the first identifier corresponds to the client or the session group.
The call quality data sent to the monitoring server comprises uplink call quality data and downlink call quality data.
Compared with the previous embodiment, the present embodiment further adds a process of determining the uplink call quality data by the client.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, the client may also report the acquired processing capability parameter to the audio/video engine, and the audio/video engine forwards the processing capability parameter to the monitoring server, and the monitoring server may monitor the processing capability parameter of the client.
Further optionally, the audio/video engine may issue a corresponding regulation and control instruction according to the call quality data uploaded by the client, such as controlling an acquisition frame rate, a code rate, an encoding and decoding manner, and the like of the client.
Next, the present application introduces the scheme in the perspective of the monitoring server. Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a flowchart of an audio and video quality monitoring method disclosed from the perspective of a monitoring server in the embodiment of the present application.
As shown in fig. 8, the method includes:
step S500, receiving call quality data and a first identifier sent by a client;
the conversation quality data is obtained by processing the conversation data sent by the source client in the same conversation group by the client.
The first identifier corresponds to the client or the session group.
Optionally, the client may send the call quality data and the first identifier to the audio/video engine, and the audio/video engine forwards the call quality data and the first identifier to the monitoring server.
Step S510, monitoring the call quality of the client or the session group corresponding to the first identifier according to the call quality data.
In this embodiment, the monitoring server monitors the call quality of the client or the session group corresponding to the first identifier according to the call quality data and the first identifier reported by the client. The background monitoring server can intuitively feel the audio and video experience of each client in the talk group, and data are accumulated for providing better audio and video service.
Optionally, on the basis of the above embodiment, the monitoring server may further receive a regulation instruction sent by the audio/video engine. The regulation and control instruction is generated by the audio and video engine according to the call quality data reported by the client and is sent to the client.
According to the method and the device, each regulation and control instruction issued by the audio and video engine to the client can be set and needs to be uploaded to the monitoring server. Or, the monitoring server can be set to request the regulation and control instruction from the audio/video engine periodically, and the monitoring server uploads the regulation and control instruction generated in the period to the monitoring server.
Optionally, on the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the monitoring server may further receive allocation information sent by the central server.
